• For those that don’t know, Salming, who has taken unbelievable care of himself into his 70’s, was recently diagnosed with ALS (a fatal disease where you lose control of all of your muscles, and it progresses quickly).

  ALS is often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

  Since it was announced, he’s quickly lose the ability to speak.

  Salming came into the league at a time when players from Europe were targeted physically because it was thought that if you play them tough, or dirty, they will shy away from going near the puck, or get rod of the puck quickly.

  But, as much abuse as he took, he always came back for more, and excelled.

  Here is what he looked like in his 70’s before the diagnosis:
